Am i missing something??

 

[Dan R]

Thats expensive!!!! I still think trophys should be higher priced generally but that is alot higher priced than most for sale and mileage isnt low enough for it to be that price

 

[Gumby]

That's [insert expletive]ing expensive

 

[FlameR]

Lol..Fletcher, I was being sarcy about it being a bargain. 10k for a trophy. Granted they should hold value better than normal 182s, but 10 freaking grand is nearing R27 money

i still think they should hold their money like that because of their rarity.
Too many people selling them too cheap imo!!
Theres no reason at all why all the ones for sale shud add 500- 1000 to the price they are advertised for.
Currently they are only just a tad more expensive than a fully cupped packed 182 of the same yr and mileage etc which i think is wrong.

oh i see..

I always check P'heads to see how much trophys are going for (as i'd love one) lately people are trying to sell them for IMO silly money.

I dunno, the cup packed 182s with average mileage are going for around 6k, trophys are generally around 7.5-8k. So they're still a good 25-30% more expensive...

dont blame them really. They are rare, an excellent car to drive out of the box (the best 182) and i think the cars value could be held up if people stopped selling them for only a bit more than a normal 182

rentechs is 7250 but i kinda see wot u mean. not an awful lot more tho.

 

[FlameR]

yeah I agree mate. I wouldn't mind a trophy...probably one of the only cars for less than 10k, that looks great, drives and handles well and will hold its value for time to come.

Personally don't think that one is worth £9,990 though lol. 8-8.5k maybe

 

[Dan R]

this is a good buy imo

I don't blame them either.. if i had one i'd try and sell it for as much as possible

Is this for sale again now then?

High mileage doesn't bother me TBH, my mk2 172 is now on 111,000

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Trophy coming No 7 in EVO's latest issue?!

Maybe, although they have always/regulary had great reviews.

 

[nathanH]

wow! thats expensive. I paid £7150 for mine 3 months ago with 29k on the clock!

I cant believe how people downrate the value of cars they already own.

We should be saying they are worth more & it might catch on.

I was in the market for an M Coupe a few years back and they were rock solid.

Given the cars reputation, Past & Current Press & a little less supply and the price could be held up.

When I am not in hurry to sell a car I usually price it up at the top of the market for the first month. Just to see.
